Phase two of my plan involves acquiring assistance from Hammerfell in Naval assets, I mentioned that the Imperial Navy isn't exactly a sparkling beacon xD (After all, the current Empire is bordered by independent factions that, if war was to break out, would likely be attacking across land, so a strong Army is key rather than a strong navy. With the Thalmor its really the other way around, so if the Empire manages to land on Summerset it will stand a fair chance, but the Imperial Navy is inferior to the High Elven navy.) It hinges on whether phase one does work out (If phase one fails phase two would be heavily delayed, if not outright stopped) and then heavily on whether Hammerfell would be willing to help cripple the Thalmor navy. Phase three is where the Imperial legion comes into play and lands on Summerset isle, hopefully with the support of Skyrim, if Phase three is initiated the Thalmor are in check, hopefully soon to be checkmate. Bretons have magical resistance while the Altmer have a weakness to magic, so I should be able to use Breton Battle mages to trade blows with the Thalmor mages while the skilled fast attack Redguard and quick moving Kajhiit dash in from a flank to deal with the Altmers powerful mages (If the Redguards get into one on one melee combat with the Thalmor mages, the skilled redguard should be able to deal with them, especially with khajiit aid) while the Legionairres and the Nords deal with the Thalmor infantryAs you see there are two major problems with this plot. The first is Phase one, which relies heavily on a bit of political maneuvering which could easily fail. The second is that it definitely requires Hammerfell and High Rock navies (Cant land the armies if the Thalmor sink the boats) which could be troublesome to obtain. It could also do with the aid of Skyrim to aid in the land combat. Hammerfell and Skyrim almost certainly trust the Empire as much as one might trust a con man, and High Rock is full of political warring.

Not to mention that High Rock's arguably best battlemages are concentrated in Camlorn. Prince Narcisse Vincens is not too fond of the lack of Imperial help in securing his borders' independence from the others, and is an avid secessionist from Imperial rule.

You may yet have your ships though, as Daggerfall and Northpoint could be talked into using their navies. Good luck getting them to work together though, as anyone who's anyone on the political scene in High Rock knows that the king of Daggerfall is not to be trifled with, and all have a general distrust of him because of the power he wields both in court, at sea and on the battlefield.

This all reminds me, I need to get the Culture section finished on my NS.
